Hi Jessash 1976, Often a picture, even if it is poor can give some of us enough information to tell what a coin has or doesn't have. It's...
Hi, The avatar shows one of my off center cents. They range in value, depending upon the date from less than $2.00 to usually not much more than...
Hi, Three possibilities and we need a picture to help. 1) Struck on an unplated planchet 2) Copper plating removed. usually but not always what...
I agree. the coin was struck by a die with a minor die crack. Thanks, Bill
Up toward the top of the forum, in the bar, there is a SEARCH feature. Search in the error forum for zinc rot Read the posts and look at the...
The problem here is that there is no minting process that can cause this. Offering that as an explanation is not solid and if you think about it,...

Hi, It's not a DDO. It appears to have been coated in something that was removed either intentionally or by wear. In any case, the surface of...
Hi and Welcome! It's a Small die chip. Or if the coin is dated after the 1982 change of composition, it could be a spot of corrosion under the...
Jello has it exactly right. It is not an error. It is post mint damage. The edge lettering is incuse on a normal coin and when coins bang...
